Much to my dismay, I was a day late and a dollar short on my article last week. It seems as though no matter where you check for facts on where an Illinois Bill stands if you are not down in Springfield real time, you can only hope that you are getting the up to date information on the websites offering such information.
Let's see how the Republican Illinois State Senators voted on SB1878 ...
Apparently there are many Illinois State Senators who do not want to see employers do the right thing and check to make sure the people they are hiring are 1) American citizens, 2) are here legally.
Even Bill Brady who wants to be YOUR next governor does not want business owners to check to make sure they are hiring people who are here LEGALLY!
Oh and Chris Lauzen who voted NO the first time on HB1744 that caused the Department of Homeland Security to file a law suit against the State of Illinois had it right the first time, but I guess now Chris has seen the light!! Cheap labor for all!!
Even though we have a congressman in Illinois who gets it Peter Roskam
our Illinois General Assembly is oblivious to the need, even given we had a major bust on an ID ring here in Chicago that was making 2-3 million dollars a year printing false Identification.
Through this vote I believe the Illinois State Senate has shown disdain for the very people who are already over taxed and overburdened and obviously have no representation in Springfield Illinois, the Illinois Taxpayers.
The people who do have representation in Springfield are illegal aliens. Seems like the Illinois State Senate has shown they love cheap illegal labor as much as the Chamber of Commerce!
We have a chance to stop this nonsense in the Illinois House
I urge you to make calls this week to your Illinois State Representatives and tell them to vote NO for SB 1878 because you want to "Save The AMERICAN worker!" Then call your Illinois State Senators and tell them although they like cheap foreign illegal labor, you the Illinois taxpayer does not. Paying 3.5 Billion dollars a year for services for illegal aliens that you are inviting here by allowing their false ID's to go unchecked is unacceptable!
For those of you who are asking what is E-Verify? Here is an informative testimony about the program created by the Federal Government. Our Illinois General Assembly complains the FEDS are not doing their job when it comes to illegal immigration and then when the FEDS do create a program, they discourage employers from using it! How is that for a cat and mouse game? Sounds par for the course with Springfield. As Peter Roskam stated ...the time for Mandatory verification is NOW!
ILLINOIS NEEDS E-VERIFY! VOTE NO for SB 1878!
